Applying for Admission

The colleges of DCCCD have an open-door admissions policy to ensure that every person has the opportunity to get a college education.

To take classes for college credit, you must first complete the application for admission. Apply early to make sure you have plenty of time to visit with an advisor, complete assessment testing and plan your course schedule. See our admission requirements for more information.

If you are an international student, you must contact an international student advisor at the college you wish to attend to apply for admission. All other students can apply in one of three ways:

If available, your official high school transcript, a copy of your diploma or a copy of your GED certificate

Official college transcripts, if you have already attended another college. Have your transcripts sent directly to the college of DCCCD you wish to attend. Many courses have prerequisites that must be met before registering. As a result, students who have not submitted transcripts may not be able to register for all desired classes.
